- If you have an ovenproof frying pan, place straight in the oven after browning lamb rumps.
- Lamb rumps provide an excellent source of iron, zinc, protein and vitamin B12 as well as being low in fat; a perfect nourishing all-rounder for the family.
- For a festive twist, finish the plated salad with extra leaves of sweet marjoram and the seeds of one pomegranate.
